| - My first visit to Brasa was pretty good, expensive, but good! We made reservations for 5pm on a Saturday, showed up and was seated right away. I will start off my saying I would most definatly NEVER take my kids (8 & 11) here. I could list about 50 reasons why, but I wont. There were people with kids, but personally mine would have hated everything about it.
I'll start with the salad bar. The selection was not as huge as I had expected, per other reviews. They had a decent selection of olives, cheeses, crackers, pickles and a few un identifiable things. I'm not an olive fan, so I skipped that whole thing. The pasta salads which included a ham and cheese pasta salad, potato and crab, plain crab and a shell pasta with mayo, celery and capers (my fave), were all decent. I tried the crab salad, huge chunks of crab and the ham and cheese pasta salad was OK.
Now the meat, lots and lots of meat. I wasn't really a fan of how they walk around and offer you a small piece of meat. A waiter walks around with his or her beef, chicken, pork, whatever and they cut you a small portion and I mean small portion. So, if the place is busy you could have an empty plate for awhile, until someone makes it back to you. All of the meats they offered were wonderful, but I just wasn't fond of the process in which you get the meat.
The only major complaint I have is the size of our table and the price of our meal.We were seated at a table for 2 and the thing was seriously the size of an end table in your living room. I was super uncomfortable and the next table was elbow to elbow with us. I really hated every minute of sitting at that table. I had just enough room for my plate, water glass, silverware, salt and pepper shakers were on the edge. As far as the price, $80 for 2 I think is a little high, considering the meat wasn't the greatest thing I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but it wasn't the BEST I've ever had. I would probably go back, request a normal sized table and try to get the whole flip your card, wait for food thing down. It's an experience and it's worth the money at least once!
